I suspect those cases don't actually exist. I mean, so much networking these
days is done using TLS that I doubt there are still users using curl
completely without TLS support.

Also, with the exception of Gskit the other TLS libs we have dropped and the
coming two that we plan to drop this summer are not the only available TLS
options on any platform.

I don't know what the people who formerly used curl+gskit do. I presume some
of them keep using an old curl or maybe they can use another TLS lib on their
platforms now? I doubt they build curl without TLS.
